Abstract: The method uses an advance feed to move the material (2) and, at the same time, it is bent by a bending unit (6) fitted to a moving frame (7) following the forward movement of the material (2). The frame (7) allows the coils to drop by gravity downwards and clear the bending zone. The bent coils are collected by a rotating container, which is rotated according to the production cycle time of the feed and bending actions.

Abstract: The redundancy of transmitted traffic information or of traffic information which is to be transmitted is optimized by a method for transmitting traffic information from a traffic information center to at least one terminal device in a vehicle via a publicly receivable (e.g., DAB, RDS-TMC) communications channel or via a private communications channel (e.g., mobile radio), wherein a first reference zone is defined at or around the known or presumed stopping place of at least one vehicle to which information is to be conveyed at a first time point. At least a second reference zone is defined at or around at least one presumed stopping place of the vehicle at a second time point lying in the future in relation to the first time point. Traffic information generated for a reference zone and for a respective future time point with forecasting and/or traffic information determined for the current time point and for the respective current reference zone are/is compiled. Data representing traffic information with the time point to which it relates and/or the reference zone to which it relates are transmitted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a data transmission device for a traffic-guidance and traffic-information system integrated into a signal light system in road traffic installations. Known data transmission devices for traffic-guidance and traffic-information systems are added to existing signal light systems (LS), so that different control techniques are required for the signal light systems and the data transmission device. In a signal light system (LS) at least one signalling unit is embodied by a matrix of light-emitting diodes which consists of both light-emitting diodes which emit light in the visible range (SIL) and light-emitting diodes which emit light in the infrared range (IRL). Both groups of diodes can be controlled separately via their corresponding control units  (IS, ES) using high-frequency current pulses as common technology. This allows for both signal transmission using light and data transmission using infrared light. The yellow light of red-yellow-green signalling system can preferably be replaced by a matrix of light-emitting diodes, which can be controlled form a traffic control centre (VLZ) via a data transmission line (DL) using a control unit (SE). The addition of photodiodes also permits two-way communication with motor vehicles. Said device is used in traffic-guidance and traffic-information systems for transmitting data to motor vehicles.

Abstract: The invention concerns a closure for a cylindrical can (10) The closure includes a flexible member (11) of the easy-open type secured across the open end of the can (10). A rigid, screw cap (22) is screwed over the thus sealed end of the can. An annular, resilient member (24) depending downwardly from the underside of the end wall of the cap (22), engages the membrane (11) in the vicinity of the end flange (18) of the can body (10) thereby strengthening the seal between the membrane (11) and the flange (18). This advantageously permits cooking of the contents of the can with the flexible membrane (11) in situ, thereby giving rise to a can having an easy-open end, the contents of which can are cooked and sterilized using conventional processing lines.

Abstract: Dans une turbine à gaz d'un système de refroidissement par vapeur, des surfaces de jointure de joues telles que des surfaces de parties jointes d'un disque de rotor ne permettent pas l'introduction d'une plaque d'amortissement, telle qu'un joint d'étanchéité, entre lesdites surfaces et une pression suffisante de surface d'étanchéité ne peut être assurée en raison de la zone de contact étendue des surfaces jointes de joue, si bien que la fuite de la vapeur de refroidissement par ces surfaces jointes pose un problème très important. Par conséquent, il est nécessaire de fournir une structure à étanchéité améliorée par rapport à ces surfaces de joint. Ladite surface d'étanchéité améliorée pour surfaces (7) de joint des joues d'une turbine à gaz dotée d'une structure de refroidissement par vapeur comporte des rainures (8) labyrinthiques ménagées dans l'une et/ou à l'autre des surfaces (7) de joint. L'étanchéité de la turbine à gaz s'en trouve améliorée en raison de la combinaison de l'effet labyrinthique et d'une forte pression de surface obtenue par une réduction de la superficie des surfaces de joint, ce qui permet d'obtenir une turbine à gaz extrêmement fiable.

Abstract: A system for testing an integrated circuit, and particularly a gate array, is disclosed which includes, prior to coupling the array to form a user-designed circuit, predesigned logic that enables testing of the user-designed circuit. The predesigned logic allows logic blocks in the array to operate in "freeze" mode or to operate in normal mode, where normal mode is defined by the user-designed circuit. Much of the same circuitry in the logic blocks is, in fact, used in both modes of operation, thus minimizing circuitry added due to test. When the logic blocks are selected to be frozen, the logic blocks behave as a series of daisy-chained master-slave flip-flops. Stimulus data is shifted into the array and captured data is shifted out of the array through the daisy-chained flip-flops. Nonetheless, when data is shifted into and out of the daisy-chained flip-flops, the master latch and the slave latch of each flip-flop can be set to receive independent values and the data captured by each of the master and slave latches can be independently shifted out and analyzed. Although when frozen, the logic blocks behave as daisy-chained flip-flops, use of the logic blocks for testing purposes does not depend upon placement of sequential elements in the user-designed circuit in the logic blocks. In other words, in normal mode, a logic block can implement combinational, sequential, or other functions and still later be used to drive out stimulus values or capture results. Moreover, each logic block is further equipped for addressable mode control, allowing selected logic blocks to be exercised in isolation once stimulus data is shifted in, simplifying test generation and improving fault coverage. Using a logic block in accordance with the invention results in a high level of fault coverage, while placing few limitations on the user's circuit design.
